REQUIREMENTS:

  • The footage of your video must be of good quality, with a minimum video resolution of 640x480 and with a limited audio fuzziness or video artifacts.  If you ripped your video from a low-quality streaming site, it has a very low chance of being accepted.
  • We strongly prefer videos in MP4 format.  If videos are submitted in other formats, we will need to convert them to MP4 for the live presentation, which can cause quality issues.  (Any videos we are unable to convert to MP4 will be disqualified.)
  • Your submission must be located somewhere we can download it, such as a hosting site like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.  (There is a separate field in the submission form for “Streaming Link” which is for YouTube, Vimeo, AMV.org, etc. ) 
  • Your video must have been completed no earlier than February 11, 2019.
  • By submitting a video, you give Vitamin H Productions permission to link to your video (or, if necessary, host your video) in the contest results, and to showcase your video, fully credited as created by you, at any convention appearance as part of a Vitamin H or AMV League Event.​
  • Any questions regarding this event should be directed to annie@vitaminh.info.

IMMEDIATe DISQUALIFICATIONS:

Picture
Subtitles (such as fansubs) that are unrelated to the video.

(Subtitles that an editor
has added to the video themselves are ok.)
Picture
Any instance of original production credits from the animation, other than just the title of the source footage (such as a My Hero Academia logo).
Picture
Any watermarks, including editor-added watermarks and watermarks for TV stations and streaming sites.
Picture
Exceedingly poor audio or video quality.

(Seriously, please do not submit your AMV if you ripped your footage from a low-quality streaming site.)
Picture
Any credits/bumpers will be removed. If they cannot be removed, the video will be disqualified.

We will add our own "MTV-style" credits to each video.

(If it's just the title of the video and it looks professional and relevant to the video (like this shot from
Erik Heckert's "Toxic"), that's ok.)
Picture
Inappropriate content, such as any R-rated gore or nudity, any use of the 'F' word or 'S' word, or any other language that would not be permitted in a PG-13 film.
    For Trailers, list the distributor of the film (such as Warner Bros. Pictures or 20th Century Fox).

    Please use English titles, if available.


    (Note: This does NOT count as your video entry! This is just so we can link to your video in the contest results.)
